Chapter 249 Jewelry, Preparing To Develop Business
Hua Rumeng and Yun Zhixi looked at each other.
Hua Rumeng asked curiously, "Isn't this just a hairpin? Fellow Daoist Changqing, are you planning to... sell this?"
Qin Changqing smiled and handed the hairpin over, saying, "Master Hua, try using your magic on it."
Hua Rumeng followed his instructions and suddenly her eyes lit up. She saw the flower buds on the hairpin slowly blooming, one by one, exuding a vibrant and enchanting beauty, just like real flowers.
Not only that, a faint fragrance emanated from these flowers, giving people a refreshing feeling.
"Intoxicating Fragrance!"
Hua Rumeng was surprised.
This thing had a bewitching effect, but in small amounts, it would only make people slightly intoxicated without much impact.
"So beautiful!"
Yun Zhixi was delighted and snatched the hairpin, saying, "Fellow Daoist Changqing, can I have this?"
"... " Qin Changqing chuckled awkwardly and could only nod.
"Oh, this is similar to what we bought from those two people last time!" Qing Yin exclaimed in surprise.
Hua Rumeng pondered and said, "This thing is indeed quite novel. If it is put up for sale, it will be highly sought after by female cultivators, especially here in the Imperial City. Due to the influence of our Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers, there are many dao companions here. If we can produce a large quantity of these accessories, they will definitely sell well."
Qin Changqing smiled and said, "Exactly. To be honest, I have two friends who specialize in crafting these little trinkets. They want to open a shop here and earn some resources. They sought my help, so when I came back this time, I planned to find a suitable shop for them in the Imperial City."
So they were his friends...
Yun Zhixi looked up at Qin Changqing and thought that someone with such extraordinary talent wouldn't waste their energy on such matters. However, this hairpin was really beautiful. It should look good on her if she wore it!
Hua Rumeng glanced at Yun Zhixi and smiled, saying, "Actually, that's not a problem. Yun Fellow Daoist and I have some connections here in the Imperial City. Leave the matter of the shop to us, and I guarantee that Fellow Daoist Changqing will be satisfied."
Qin Changqing waved his hand and said, "Such a small matter shouldn't trouble the two of you. I can handle it myself. It's just a matter of spending a few more Spirit Stones."
However, Yun Zhixi was dissatisfied and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Changqing look down on us?"
"No, no!" Qin Changqing quickly shook his head.
"Then it's settled!" Yun Zhixi made a decision. "Leave the matter of the shop to us. Just wait for us to hand it over to you."
Qin Changqing looked helpless and took out a storage ring, saying, "Then I'll trouble the two of you. Here are some Spirit Stones. If it's not enough..."
"Hey!" Yun Zhixi pushed his hand away. "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Changqing? We are willing to help, and it's because we think you are a trustworthy person. Talking about Spirit Stones is being too formal. If you don't take it back, we won't be happy."
A shop in the Imperial City was quite valuable...
Hua Rumeng looked meaningfully at Yun Zhixi and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yun Fellow Daoist is right. You should take it back."
"Alright!" Qin Changqing cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll trouble the two of you."
"After helping you so much, shouldn't you treat us to some good spiritual food and wine?" Yun Zhixi blinked.
Qin Changqing felt goosebumps on his back and couldn't bear it, but he still nodded and said, "Of course, Qing Yin, go order some dishes. I'll treat you today!"
"Okay!" Qing Yin's eyes lit up at the mention of good food and immediately ran off.
Three days later, the large restaurant opposite the Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers took down its signboard, and the owner walked out with a dejected look, glancing reluctantly at his own shop.
"Isn't this Manager Liu? What's going on? Are you closing down?" a curious regular customer asked.
Manager Liu sighed and said, "I can't continue anymore. Someone else is taking over."
The regular customer was shocked and said, "This is the most prosperous area in the imperial capital. Ordinary people can't afford to rent here. I heard that you were able to get such a good location because someone in your family holds an important position in the imperial court. Who dares to make you leave? Could it be a member of the royal family?"
Manager Liu helplessly replied, "It's something like that. I don't know the specifics either. Originally, I didn't want to leave and even asked for support from my family's ancestors. But soon, my family's ancestors told me to vacate the place as soon as possible. If I insisted on staying, there might be fatal consequences."
"It's that serious!" the regular customer exclaimed.
Manager Liu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the price offered by the other party is fair. With so many Spirit Stones, I can open another restaurant. Please come and support me when you have the time!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
As they watched Manager Liu leave, the regular customer rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "The surrounding shops of the Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers are the best in the entire empire. If they can drive Manager Liu away, their background must be extraordinary. Could it really be a member of the royal family coming to do business..."
Soon, a group of four people entered the shop, with Qin Changqing and Qingyin at the forefront.
"Two of you, how about this shop? Are you satisfied?" Qin Changqing smiled.
The old man and the young man beside him widened their eyes in shock and couldn't speak for a while.
These two were the ones who sold hairpins to Qin Changqing before. The old man's name was Yang Bo, and the young man was named Yang Dong'er.
"Sir, are you not joking with the old man?" Yang Bo stammered, "As far as the old man knows, this shop is worth its weight in gold. Such a large shop, and it's right across from the Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers. The rent alone would cost at least a billion Spirit Stones!"
Hmm... That much? Qin Changqing was also somewhat surprised.
Hua Rumeng had told him that they could use the shop freely without paying rent.
It seemed that he really owed the other party a big favor.
Of course, he was still very satisfied with this shop. They were going to sell jewelry and other items, and there were many dao companions coming in and out of the Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers every day. They didn't have to worry about sales at all.
"This is the formation plate for the shop, and it bears the spirit seal of the Immortal Emperor Dynasty," Qin Changqing threw two things over directly.
Yang Bo took a look and immediately had no more doubts. These things couldn't be faked, and if they were, they would probably be caught on the spot, which wouldn't end well.
"I've already found a shop for you. The rest is up to you!" Qin Changqing said lightly, "Work hard with me, and I won't treat you unfairly. I'll take 80% of the income from this shop in the future. If there's any problem, I'll handle it myself."
"Okay, okay, we'll listen to you, sir!" Yang Bo and Yang Dong'er said without hesitation.
Although they would only receive 20% of the income, they had to consider where they were working. How could business be bad right across from the Tower of Ten Thousand Flowers? The income from just one day would probably be worth the several years of hard work they had put in before.
